Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro signed a bill to regulate the crypto industry, recently adopted by the Senate and the Chamber of Deputies. It will take effect in 180 days. During this period, blockchain companies should have time to adapt to the new rules. Brazil will allow crypto firms to register in the country and open physical offices. It will also create a new federal agency that will regulate such firms and issue “virtual service provider” licenses. Under the law, digital assets considered securities will be controlled by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The rest of the tokens (which are recognized as a commodity) will be regulated by a body that has yet to be created. Experts note that Brazilian politicians have taken a big step towards the adoption of bitcoins. After all, the new law also recognizes digital assets as an investment document. As soon as the law comes into force, Brazilians will be able to use bitcoin as a payment method, and digital assets will be recognized as a class of investment assets.
